About

The case for Grant Clayton.

Grant Clayton’s career in real estate began not with a sale, but with a grievance. As a young couple, he and his wife Kelly faced the high-pressure, low-value proposition of a traditional 6% agent and knew there had to be a better way.

That single transaction became the catalyst for a full-scale industry disruption, sparking a mission to build a real estate model that was fair, efficient, and fundamentally better for everyone involved.

The Disruptor

Grant saw a system that served middlemen, not clients or agents. So he built a new one based on a simple, radical idea: deliver real value by leveraging technology and eliminating waste.

He and Kelly launched 1 Percent Lists, a full-service brokerage that challenged the long-held belief that high cost equals high quality.

They replaced antiquated marketing with cutting-edge digital strategy and passed the savings on to their clients, creating a high-volume business model that was more profitable and more sustainable.

The Proof

The model wasn’t just a theory. It became one of America’s fastest-growing companies, landing on the Inc. 5000 list with 1,114% revenue growth and expanding into a national franchise.

With thousands of happy clients saving millions of dollars, the proof wasn’t in the argument; it was in the results.
